Join me for an approximately 5-mile walk on a scenic, paved trail. Get your miles in before lunchtime and enjoy a cool late fall walk. Most of the walk is in mixed hardwoods. We will have a chance to ID trees as we walk through Bear Creek, McCormick, and Bob Eden parks. Bathrooms are at the turnaround at Bob Eden park. Bring a liter of water, dress for the weather (layers), and wear comfortable walking shoes. Walk starts at 8:00 am and we will be back to the cars no later than noon. Trip rated: Easy.

Jan 11 (Sat) Eisenhower State Park, Denison Texas
Put on your coat, gloves, and wool cap and join me for a 6-8 mile (depending on the trail condition) winter hike. We will start at the Armadillo Hill Trailhead, pick up the Ike Hike and Bike Trail, and head northwest. We will walk through a mix of hardwoods and along the shores of Lake Texoma. We'll stop at a great overlook called Lovers' Leap and then break for lunch at the picnic area (bathrooms nearby). Then we'll double back the way we came. Bring 2 liters of water and lunch. Dress for the weather (layers). Wear good hiking shoes as the trail is rocky and uneven. $5 per person. Limit 10 people. Trip rated: Moderate. Leader: jim Binnings Send Email 205-746-3266
